IMPROVEMENT IN APPLE-CORERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 185,902, dated January2, 1877; application filed December 13, 1876.

To alt whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES FALLOWS, of Philadelphia, in the county ofPhiladelphia and in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Apple-Oorers and do hereby declare that thethereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to thelettersof reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof an applecorer, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable. others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describeitsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in whichFigure 1 is a side elevation of my improved apple-corer. Figure 2 is aview of the handle thereof.

My apple-corer is constructed of a tube, A,

end to form the cutters B B. In the side of the tube A, near the top, isan opening, 0, for the escape of the core. In the lower end of the tubeA is an offset, a, so as to diminish the size of the hole near thecutting-end, thereby relieving the core from adhering to the corer bythe juice of the apple. D represents a turned-wood knob, of suitablesize, provided with a stem or shank, G, to fit in the upper end of theoorer-tube A, where it is held by indenting the tube in one or moreplaces to force the metal into the wood. The lower end of the stem orshank G is beveled, as shown at b, at an angle of aboutforty-fivedegrees. This incline is directly opposite the opening 0 of the tube A,and forms a guide for conducting the core out through said opening.

This apple-corer is cheap, easily handled, and not liable to get out oforder.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The corer-tube A, formed with the sideopening 0, and end cutters B B,and provided with the offset a near its lower end, for the purposesherein set forth.

2. The wood-handle 1), formed with the stem or shank Gr, having inclineb, as described, in combination with the corer-tube A, having sideopening 0, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this4th day of December, 1876.

JAMES FALLOWS.
